If you set Table Normal as the default AutoFormat, I think you'll find this
helps.

I may not have been clear enough, Suzanne - sorry about that. It's not
the
style of the table itself - the borders and such. Pasting somehow
triggers
Words to change the Style of the text from Body Text 2 to Table Grid. The
text is pasted in as copied, and then magically change to a different font
and size.

Go to Table | Table AutoFormat and choose Table Normal, then click
Default... This will make Table Normal (no borders) the default for all
documents based on the current document or attached template, depending
on
your choice.

What is the default Table AutoFormat for Normal.dot (or whatever
template
your document is based on)?
The Table AutoFormat dialog shows:
Category: All table styles
Table styles: Table Grid
All four "Apply To" boxes below are checked.

I'm in Word 2002, trying to copy repeating text from one set of
cells
into
another set. But every time I paste, Word imposes the "Table Grid"
style
onto whatever I pasted. I can use the Format Painter to put things
back
like I wanted. But is there any way I can stop this behavior?
